    Researchers developed cost-effective porcine models for transoral robotic surgery (TORS) training. These realistic models simulate throat anatomy, aiding the evaluation of image-guided navigation systems for improved surgical accuracy and safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Oncology
    • Medical Simulation
    • Robotic Surgery

    Background:

    • Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) offers potential for enhanced accuracy and safety in throat cancer resections.
    • Limited availability of cost-effective, realistic research and training models hinders the evaluation of advanced TORS technologies, such as image-guided navigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and evaluate two novel porcine models for simulating head and neck anatomy relevant to TORS.
    • To assess the efficacy of these models in training and evaluating image-guided navigation systems for TORS.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of two porcine models mimicking human tongue, larynx, and pharynx anatomy.
    • Utilization of a previously developed transoral robotic surgery (TORS) navigation system with a da Vinci surgical system.
